An amazing morning!

My family and I had a fabulous morning on Lady Bowen. The whole experience was flawless from start to finish. Excellent commentary you could hear from anywhere on the boat. From ages 71-9, we all loved every moment!

Milford Sound Cruise

The Southern Discovery cruise was outstanding. Weather was bright and sunny which was ideal for the iconic views and the journey itself. The commentary on the cruise was clear and in English giving us details of everything in and around Milford Sound.
